The following note was included in an article in this month's
(Aug '82) issue of DR DOBB'S JOURNAL. Other people in this dis-
cussion have made suggestions of doing this sort of thing, but I
would like to hear any comments on just how well something like
this might hold up in court. Can you release something into the
public domain, and have it still remain your property?
"Note that these programs are the property of

ed in a hardware or software package without the

Sorry, only 8" SS/SD "CP/M Interchange Format" is
available. To order and/or receive permission to
distribute any of these utilities, contact
Lawrence E. Hughes at Mycroft Labs, Inc., P.O. Box
6045, Tallahassee, FL 32301, phone (904)385-2708.
In any case, the name "Mycroft Labs" must remain
in the source code, and be displayed when the pro-
grams are executed."C70:info-cpm (07/29/82)

Once you give something away, I think you['ve done just
that. But Larry Hughes is a heck of a good guy, and I wish him welll...
